Some archetypes have names shared by several monsters in the whole, yet are able to stand out as are mostly limited to a certain category. A good example is the Warrior archetype, a name often seen by many creatures yet stand outs as being exclusively Synchro Monsters. Often seen arround Synchron and Junk monsters as their materials, Warrior members are quite diverse in their abilities to make an Extra Deck ready for any situation.

“Road Warrior” is a monster which despite a solid ATK to defeat many monsters, gained prevalence in some Decks thanks to its opportunity to give us momentum in our setups. Each of our turns, “Road Warrior” can summon from inside our Deck a Level 2 or lower Warrior-Type or Machine-Type monster. Although pretty specific in which monsters can summon, “Road Warrior” became a wonderful option to follow its arrival with some of the most expensive Synchro Summons in the game.

The Synchro Summon of “Road Warrior” might not be accesible for every Deck, as requires atleast three materials with “Road Synchron” as the Tuner. “Road Synchron” has decent support from cards like “Tuning” and “Synchron Explorer” to be brought when needed for this Synchro Summon, while “Quickdraw Synchron” can take over its position as provides a way to Special Summon itself. Synchron Decks are often seen with a variety of small yet easily accesible monsters to gather together when required, specially materials such as “Quillbolt Hedgehog” and “Doppelwarrior” providing Graveyard effects for any situation. With these options covering the summon of “Road Warrior”, don’t hesitate on using revival effects later on so this Synchro Monster can keep using its effect in our next turns.

As pointed out “Road Warrior” might have impressive ATK, but is mostly known for its setup potential. Despite the limitations of its Special Summon, there’s a big quantity of monsters we can bring out from our deck for any purpose. In common circumstances we can bring a Tuner to work along “Road Warrior” on bigger Synchro Summons, from basic outcomes like “Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree” to more greedy results like the summon of “Shooting Quasar Dragon” with the proper zones. Link Monsters are no exception for these preparatives, summoning a monster by “Road Warrior” to follow with many others we can provide. The effect of “Road Warrior” has no heavy clauses, so if we are able to summon it back an forth by revival effects or cards like “De-Synchro” is possible to gather several monsters from inside our Deck. But the possibilities of “Road Warrior” can go beyond bringing materials as some of them can provide valuable effects for any situation, with cards like “Hero Kid” or “Cyber Valley” providing further resources, or “Buster Blaster” and “Jutte Fighter” potentially disrupting the opposite field.

While its Synchro Summon might be expensive for some players, “Road Warrior” is a monster with solid possibilities arround its effect worth the investment. Due requires a particular Tuner (Or “Quickdraw Synchron”) and a decent number of monsters to summon by its ability, “Road Warrior” is a monster that might need a Deck of its own. But despite the limitations added by the Extra Monster Zone is still able to aim towards all sorts of summons. Yet, if is not able to aim towards expensive Synchro Summons or assist in other goals like Link Summon, there’s a variety of Warriors and Machines with abilities ready to solve any issues at the moment. “Road Warrior” is not a monster you’ll see in every Duel, but is capable of a variety of objectives under the right tools and management.
